Thanks for the very informative video and of course the beautiful images you have shared ❤

[@thefilmdaddy]

Ah kind denizen of the internet I thank you for your words. If only I knew who you were! 😂

[@Eclectachrome]

Wow!! ahhh such a beautiful place and photos...i want to live in this video! Gorgeous scenery, light...agree with your sentiments on light. Amazing to see all the cameras out, what a joy!

[@thefilmdaddy]

If you can steal away from UK I highly recommend Normandie Molly! It’s so beautiful. Thanks for watching and for the kind words! I very much appreciate them 🙏

[@MacnTeensVisuals]

Yes to all those photos (particularly the first one and the one at 1:30) and yes to early morning photo walks 👌 lovely lovely stuff. Great points too, amazing photos can be taken at any time of the day depending on what you're going for.

[@thefilmdaddy]

Cheers y’all 🙏 thanks so much for watching and for the kind words about the shots!

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

damn so many beautiful sunset pictures :O damn you can print them ALL out and just hang them on the wall. I photograph at any time of day but I love sunset pictures the most even if I never shoot them myself :D

[@thefilmdaddy]

Thank you Dan! And thanks so much for sharing the video! You're helping my channel in so many ways. Very much appreciated 🙏

[@ReimannPembroke]

Great video and I love the sentiment. Golden hour is great, but its definitely important to challenge yourself with all different lighting

[@thefilmdaddy]

Thanks Reimann! Glad you liked it 👍

[@NunoAlmeidaPhotography]

Hey Brendon! I completely agree with you in regards to lighting conditions being favorable but not mandatory to make great photos. Normandy is on my travel list, definitely wanna go there 🤞🏼

[@thefilmdaddy]

Thanks Nuno! Pull through and let’s go on a photo road trip I say 😂 France is so beautiful.

[@NunoAlmeidaPhotography]

@@thefilmdaddy I need that badly lol, that would be awesome!

[@Bonsees]

Damn, Brendon, I didn't expect to get romancing tips here haha! Everything looks pretty during golden hour, even me 🤪 Jokes aside, I agree with your sentiments~ and to add to it, golden hour adds a distinct vibe to the scene that may not work well with some themes or how you want to convey something. It can make things seem off. Sometimes, harsh sunlight or like your example, drab overcast weather works too.

[@thefilmdaddy]

NGL you can feel the romance in France, so many affections all over! But thanks Bon! Glad you liked the video 🥰

[@damium5]

Hey man, Ektar plus golden hour is like winning the lottery! you should try lomo purple + golden hour haha, just joking. You are in a place where golden hour is always long and magical. still Great pictures man!

[@thefilmdaddy]

🤣🤣🤣 I still haven't shot Lomo purple man. I don't know if I ever will, but maybe one day for the vibes! Thanks as always for the comment, very much appreciated!

I love Golden hour. I love taking photos of the coast. I love photographing the coast at golden hour. But then again I love shooting the coast anytime, and golden hour anywhere. Is there a perfect time? I guess its just so subjective on what you like, how you compose, the story you want to tell.. Love the video, the tunes, the captures. I don't think you threw composition out the window- the shots have a relaxed, candid but still beautiful vibe to them. They are just different compositions- I love them. Cheers for sharing mate. Beautiful video!

[@thefilmdaddy]

Thank you Ace 👍 really appreciate that man. Couldn’t agree with you more actually. Photography is what ever we make of it! Thanks also for the kind words about the photos I’m glad you enjoyed them 🙏

[@acecreates]

@@thefilmdaddy anytime mate!

[@kevlarnegative]

Great job and a good ending. I like golden hour but I shoot regardless of the light condition. Shooting with flash is cool too. ☺️

[@thefilmdaddy]

Thank you Kevlar! Couldn’t agree more with ya my friend 🙌

[@NateG459]

random question, how do you get the shutter sound for your videos?

[@thefilmdaddy]

I have them recorded from an old iPhone video, and I just saved that sound in my edit. I always wonder if I should remove the shutter noises....

[@NateG459]

@@thefilmdaddy def don’t remove lol
